Deleting Lisa Biron

[edit]

Major media outlets have declined to identify Ms. Biron because it could lead to the victim, her daughter, being identified. I would therefore like to delete her from this article. MDEVER802 (talk) 23:14, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List from Danbury article moved here

[edit]

I'm moving this list from the Danbury, Connecticut article to see if some of this information, with proper sources, can be incorporated here. Many of these are already in this article, but some may not be, and this may help expand this article as needed.

Notable former inmates

Notable former inmates include:

Notable former inmates

[edit]

Media personality and homemaker Martha Stewart (incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp, Alderson in West Virginia) and female rap star Lil' Kim (incarcerated at the Federal Detention Center, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania) requested that their prison terms be served at Danbury Federal Correctional Institution due to its proximity to their homes, but due to the media attention their requests were denied.[citation needed]

Disputed Hartford Courant article

[edit]

There was a 2004 Hartford Courant article in which "Barbara", a former prisoner, talks about the prison

However in Orange is the New Black the book Piper Kerman said the Tuohy article had inaccuracies. I'm going to cite the ebook, eISBN 978-0-385-53026-2

  • location 1415: "Levy" is a French-Moroccan Jewish woman at FCI Danbury
  • location 3123: Kerman and the other prisoners learned about the article and realized "Barbara" was "Levy"
  • location 3130: Kerman said Levy made the prison look better than it actually was
  • location 3137: Kerman said that Tuohy included some minor inaccuracies; she said that the CD player claim, the number of nuns, and the Haagen Dasz claims were not true, and that the inmates were very upset at the Haagen Dasz claim. She also said the women were very angry at Levy/Barbara.

Since Kerman used false names for almost everyone in her memoir I will assume that Levy is also a false name WhisperToMe (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
